To inculcate a sense of adventure, pride and achievement amongst the fraternity of the Bombay Sappers, the 13-member motorcycling expedition will traverse through challenging terrains covering a distance of 3800 km from Dras to Pune over a period of 22 days.
Through the course of the ride, the expedition members will be interacting with various field units and war veterans with an endeavour to honour and complement their contribution to Bombay Sappers and the Nation.
This expedition is being done on Royal Enfield motorcycles.
The challenging expedition and the outreach with the war veterans and Veer Naris at designated centres is a remarkable tribute to the immortal courage and bravery of the Bombay Sappers and the Indian Army.
